The economy is in the ****ter and they bought too much car or made a flesh turd and suddenly had the urge to get a minivan because one child demands 10 metric tons of **** carried with it at all times to move anywhere outside of the house.

Subaru isn't leasing a car for 1 year. What you are seeing is two scenarios:

1: Buyers Remorse: 1 reason or another they just didn't like it, or they had some issues out of the gate, or they couldn't afford it, but just because it is a launch edition, doesn't mean people will love them.

2: SOA cars. All of their 15s should have made their way through auction at this point. SOA only auctions their fleet cars to subaru dealers, so if its at a suby dealer it could be a fleet car.

I would say your points are most likely the reason they are coming back in stock. but on the other hand my dealer did mention they have done 1 year and even 6 month lease's before

In places with traffic, you often see buyers like the "idea" of sports car with a manual but after a few month dislike the "reality" of sports car with a manual in heavy traffic every day. I have seen a decent amount of M3s and M4s near new used on the market as well- nearly always manuals.

I remember a guy, on this forum, who was so upside down on bad car purchasing decisions - that he had an F150 (or something of the sort) he owed about $70k on.

i wish i could find that thread.

There was a guy on VWVortex years ago that owed 50k on a 5 year old Maxima. When you constantly trade in every 2-3 years and use 8 year loan terms, it's easy to get extremely upside-down on a vehicle, especially when the cars have crazy depreciation curves.

I have a co-worker with a similar story. Had a MK4 GTI that he owed like 40K during his younger years. He sucked it up and leased a base model Mazda 3 for 2 years and came out the other side a free man. Said it was tough as hell to swallow his pride, but he made the right decision.

Geez, I swear I was almost that guy. I was lucky to just barely avoid being completely upside down in my MK6 GTI before I bought my WRX. When I bought the GTI I had horrible credit but plenty of income and my MK4 Jetta was about to give up the ghost. I took the horrendous interest rate (11.67%....yeah) and kept it for a year.

Luckily I almost broke even when buying the WRX between the dealer pricing close to invoice as well as a 10% down payment. Plus my interest rate got cut down to 3.99% because I fixed my credit during the year I owned the VW. So glad not to be dealing with the stress of being upside down in a car anymore though.
